Atlanta Braves rookie pitcher Didier Fuentes had an impressive outing against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at Truist Park. With the sun shining brightly and temperatures at 89 degrees, Fuentes took the mound for his third Major League start, aiming for his initial victory. The Braves secured an 8-3 win, bolstered by Matt Olson’s grand slam and Sean Murphy’s three-run homer in a notable sixth inning. Despite a shaky start, Fuentes struck out Angels shortstop Zach Neto before facing challenges from other batters. Manager Brian Snitker praised his performance, stating, "Every time he goes out there it’s going to be a new experience." While Fuentes’s struggles with runners in scoring position persisted, his resilience shone through in this match. The Braves hope to carry this momentum into their next series against the Baltimore Orioles, following a celebration of Independence Day.
